What this mod does
Champions (More NPCs), by PedriJoe, adds champions: upgraded versions of Hytale’s regular monsters, with better gear and looks, higher stats and a bigger size.
How they spawn
A timed system spawns champions near active players: a nearby monster ascends to its upgraded variant and its arrival is announced in chat. There are tier 1 to 5 champions, and each tier has a minimum distance from the world origin, so the toughest ones wait far from the starting point.
Configuration
- Admins open the panel with
/champions. - You can turn the whole system on or off.
- You can adjust the interval between spawns, the distance around players and the minimum distance from the origin for each tier.
It requires PJ CoreLib. It optionally integrates with Forgotten Creatures, by the same author, for more creature variety, and with PJ Money. The author himself warns that the mod is at an early stage and that spawns and balance will change.
Version 1.2.5 (September 25, 2026) is for Hytale 0.6. With Update 7 (0.7), released October 12, 2026, wait for a compatible version before using it on an important world.
Checked on October 20, 2026: the author hasn’t published a file tagged for Hytale 0.7 (Update 7) on CurseForge yet. The latest version is 1.2.6 (October 10, 2026), for 0.6. We’ll check again and update this page as soon as it’s out.
